Boys,

Last weeks games recap.

Early tilt between USA and Poland.  A hard fought battle thats for sure.  All Trumpsters in the opening frame as they out score the Polocks 3-1.  Payback in the 2nd as Poland out score the Yanks 3-1 for a 4-4 tie after 2 periods.  USA take back the lead in the first 90 seconds of the 3rd.  Poland fights back and ties it once again at 10:35.  Then both goalies take over and shut out all shooters for a final score 5-5.  Both teams went 0-0 on the PP.  Poland got 2 goals from the very handsome Joe Peacock.  Singles from Henry Krajewski, Eric Fletcher and Patrick McCormickski.  USA got 2 goals from Robert McKean and singles from David Rinaldo, Dwayne Tygesen ($500 richer today haha) and Joe Cosentino.  Players of the Game were given to Polands #11 John Annan and USA #9 Rob McKean.

Late game between Finland and Canada.  Canadians were very surprised as their rookie sensation returned to the frozen pond after an upper body injury healed faster than first discussed.  Maybe a urine sample will be needed for Paul Alloway.  3-2 for Finland after the opening period.  Canada scored the only 2 goals in the 2nd taking a 4-3 lead into the 3rd.  An awesome final frame, playoff atmosphere and Finland scored the lone goal with 2:34 left on the clock.  Final score 4-4.  Both teams went 0-2 on the PP.  Finland got single markers from Brian Spence, David Dupal, Brent Beer and new member Evan Scott, they call him OJ.  Canada got 2 goals from Marcelo Diluzio and singles from Paul Alloway and Joel May.  A dentist, a lawyer and a mafia dude walked into a bar………  Players of the Game went to Finlands #5 Daniel Barrett and to Canada #9 Marcelo Diluzio.  Good game.
